ÜOS (über-oversize)

It was nearly 10 years ago that my Richie-Issimolug sets and bottom bracket shells came on to the market. This was my humble attempt at becoming my own supplier as well as a source for other effbuilders and bolster what was then a shrinking pool of raw material. Since that time, I’ve done another 18 or so mold tools for cast lugs, fork crowns, b.b. shells, and braze-ons. This past autumn i decided to grow the original parts and make them available for ÜOS (über-oversize) frame dimensions atmo. I call the updated version Sax Max because – just because – and after inspecting the first samples, I signed off on the project. In typical OCD style, I took about 600 pictures of them before lunch today and, what with country livin’ n shit, it took four hours to load them on Flickr. I have sets pasted in here and here.

The short of it is these are for 36mm head tubes, 35mm down tubes, and 31.8mm top and seat tubes. An 1 1/8″ fork crown designed to complement (that’s complement with an E…) these parts is past the napkin stage and over in the Solidworks cubicle à ce moment-ci. Stay tuned – soon I will have the PegoRichie tubing in ÜOS dimensions to complete the package.
